Nikola Corporation, a leading player in zero-emissions transportation and energy solutions, has reinforced the hydrogen infrastructure in Southern California by launching a new HYLA refueling station at Tom’s Truck Center in Santa Fe Springs, Los Angeles County. This move is integral to supporting the increasing deployment of Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks, particularly along the busy 5 Freeway truck route. The station, located at 13443 Freeway Dr., represents Nikola's commitment to having 14 refueling solutions operational by the end of the year, a combination of HYLA and partner stations to cater to customer needs. Additionally, Nikola's proactive approach to station deployment ensures readiness for the growing fleet of hydrogen-powered trucks. The collaboration with Tom’s Truck Center exemplifies a joint dedication to advancing zero-emission transportation and providing exceptional customer service through dedicated personnel. KC Heidler, President and CEO of Tom's Truck Center, expressed enthusiasm for being the first to offer an onsite hydrogen refueling station in the U.S., aligning with their goal of promoting zero-emission transport. The HYLA refueling network encompasses various solutions tailored for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, including partnerships with companies like FirstElement Fuel. By strategically placing the Santa Fe Springs station alongside existing locations in Ontario and Long Beach, Nikola has established a robust network covering multiple counties in Southern California, effectively serving a significant population. The successful completion of this hydrogen fueling triangle is a significant milestone in Nikola's efforts to drive the hydrogen revolution and meet the rising demand for sustainable transportation.
